Re: does anyone need a project ?
There's a guy locally that did the same with a Porsche 944, to match his track car. He cut out everything from the C pillar forward, below the windows, then grafted the nose back on below the windshield. It looks very cool and has lots of room for tools, tires, etc.

Re: does anyone need a project ?
i'd be interested in one.
there's never enough room in my spider when i take the frau on more than a weekend trip. six changes of clothes per day adds up quite fast.
me? i can get four days on a single pair of undies....
there is just some elemental differences between men and women, and it has something to do with trunk space

Four days?
No wonder you like convertibles!

Now that's cool! One question though. How would you go about registering it? I have a parts car and no title with it. Would I be able to use the parts car?

Re: does anyone need a project ?
Your laws will likely be different, but here you can make a two-wheel/one axle trailer and register it that way. Under a cetain size, they don't even need plates. Automobile dollies are in that category. Check out your state highway traffic act under trailers - you might be pleasantly surprised.
